many people can't find any defferance between these items;
1- phrase: is a combination of words which does not contain any verb.
2- a clause; is a combination of words which contains an infinite (non conjugated verb).
3- a sentence; a combination of words which contains finite (conjugated) verbssss.
many people as i said use interchangebly but wrongly the two items sentence and phrase.

SENTENCE doesn't mean phrase in English
and this is what we call the false friends between French and English

thank you so much

There is so much vocabulary to be used in an English-speaking classroom along with phrases as well!

[oumhanni]

Teachers have many different ways of telling students to do things and also of interacting with their students in a social way. In addition, students have their own phrases to communicate with each other and also to talk to their teacher.

We will go through the school day in chronological order, so it is an easy step-by-step guide:

[oumhanni]

Beginning the day

It’s the morning and things are crazy at school, friends are sitting down chatting and teachers are organising for the day ahead. We start first with the register:

[oumhanni]

1. Register (role-call)

The teacher takes (or ‘does’) a register every day to make sure they know who is present in the class and who is absent. The teacher would initiate this process by saying something like:

• Now, class, we are going to take (or ‘do’) the register.

[oumhanni]

At this point students would have to be silent and respond only when their name is called with “present” or “here”.

[oumhanni]

It is considered impolite to answer with “Yep” or “Mhm” and some schools even make students answer “Yes Sir/Miss”.

[oumhanni]

Also, the teacher may use the register to ask students about previous absences or times when they were not in class. Parents are usually required to inform the school about why their child was not present, but they may also write a note in the student’s “journal” or “contact book”.

[oumhanni]

It can also be a time for the teacher to talk to students and ask them what they did at the weekend or if they saw the big game on television last night.

[oumhanni]

Mrs Smith: Johnny?
Johnny: Here, Miss!
Mrs Smith: Did you watch the Arsenal match last night? It was fantastic!
Johnny: Yes! It was brilliant Miss, I didn’t know you watched football!
